TYT: Trump: Bring Back Waterboarding "Even If It Doesn’t Work"



Donald Trump is on the campaign trail talking about torture. He said that he is in favor of waterboarding, and would reinstate it if he is elected. Cenk Uygur, hosts of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"Donald Trump touted the benefits of waterboarding in a campaign rally on Monday night, telling a crowd that “you bet your ass” he would bring it back into use.

Addressing thousands of people in Columbus, Ohio, the Republican frontrunner praised waterboarding, an interrogation method that has been called torture. “I would approve more than that,” he said.

Trump told supporters: “Would I approve waterboarding? You bet your ass I would. In a heartbeat. I would approve more than that. It works.”

The Republican frontrunner then added “… and if it doesn’t work, they deserve it anyway for what they do to us”.”*

I watched this recently. It includes interviews with ALL LIVING CIA Directors. What I find most remarkable is that many former directors contend that TORTURE WORKS and info gained from torture helped foil many terrorist attacks! They also had the guy on that destroyed the CIA tapes of waterboarding, in spite of being ordered by his chain of command NOT TO!

Nice a Presidential Candidate says he would use it even if it doesn't work!

One of the many reasons not to, is to not give our enemies an excuse to torture our own captured troops! Simply a flat out betrayal of those in uniform serving their country.
